Look at the gaming benchmarks. The Pentium M creams the FX-55 even at 2.13 GHz. And the FX-55 is running at 2.6GHz. 2.13 vs 2.6? The Pentium M is pure pwnage!

The gamepc thing is slightly biased btw. P-M sucks in anything FPU intensive, such as video encoding, etc. But in gaming and 3DMark/Aquamark, it is the best you can get if you overclock it (which is easy with Asus boards!). At stock it sucks donkey balls, btw. But most P-M's will do 2.6GHz incredibly easy

Yah, its better if you like overclocking stuff...

Even a fucking idiot can overclock a Pentium-M if you get an Asus board. Is it that difficult to select an item, raise it a couple of times, then select another item and put in a number? Fuck no. Just because I don't use a Dell with Windows XP doesn't mean I'm a nerd

Then why waste all that time typing out those 4 words and clicking reply? You just wasted 10 secs of your life.

wow, I knew Pentium M's were good, but I didn't think theyed compare that well to a 3.7GHZEE

The only decent P4EE's were the old 3.2/3.4 ones on Socket 478 and the 3.46GHz one on LGA775. The 3.73GHz one is just a prescott with lots of cache, and the smithfield EE is just a dualcore 3.73GHz EE. The old EE's however weren't related to the P4 family at all, they were based on the Xeon.

Its better to get a Prescott 6xx series than the EE 3.7 cause theyre 64bit and they have the 2MB L2 cache and theyre cheaper. And why not just screw all that and get a Dothan

Well, if you won't be doing any office work or encoding video, mainly gaming and benching, definately Dothan. But I'd say an A64 X2 would be more versatile while still being half-decent at gaming, also tons better for video encoding and multithreaded work. But for gaming, Dothan is the best chip out there right now.
